The Jesus Papers by Michael Baigent

You first met author Baigent in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, the book upon which The DaVinci Code was based. 
In The Jesus Papers, he introduces more of what I call ‘cloak and dagger Jesus’.  There is simply no end to conjecture about what might have happened 2000 years ago.  Do we spend time reading this stuff?  What IS one to believe?  Well, I think we need to be aware of what is being written about the foundations of our faith.  But do we take it seriously?  That is a question you might ask David or Susan, our ministers.  Still, it would be fun to talk about it some time.
